A 29-year-old Miami man hit 100 mph fleeing sheriff's deputies in his Ferrari early Sunday morning in the Florida Keys before being arrested, officials said.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office received a call that a Ferrari was driving recklessly down Highway 1 at a high rate of speed. When a sergeant spotted the Ferrari, the driver, identified as Gabriel Molina, speeded up from 75 to 100 mph and cut his lights, officials said in an arrest report.

The sergeant found him at a gas station with a woman sitting in the passenger seat, the deputies said.
